...must we always assume that ours is the superior culture that can teach, but has nothing to learn from them? We have proved ourselves less than wise by ravaging our environment almost beyond saving in less than 500 years, while they managed to maintain an ecological balance for perhaps more than 10,000 years. The new militants may be just the ones to build a bridge of understanding across the chasm separating our cultures-if we have the humility to learn and they have the patience to teach...
...minuscule. Moreover, it can be argued that the continued U.S. effort in Laos is a logical consequence of the Nixon program in Viet Nam; if a gradual, orderly withdrawal from Viet Nam is to proceed, it is obviously important to keep neighboring Laos from collapsing.

They degenerate into coarser, larger crystals and sometimes even into lumps of ice. Such "old" snow cannot maintain a good grip on the soil or underlying layers of snow. The slightest disturbance may tear it free: the sonic boom of a passing aircraft, the stresses created by a pair of skis...
